Great Falls Clinic Hospital open

The Great Falls Clinic Hospital is open at 3010 15th Ave. S. “I cannot express enough how appreciative I am to all of our team at the clinic,” said Vicki Newmiller, Great Falls Clinic CEO. “The hospital opening affected everyone within the organization and the team came together and worked through many issues to make our opening day a huge success.“On our opening day, we had our normal surgery day, three of which were admitted. We had two medical patients admitted to the hospital. The ER had 8 patients present, 3 of which were ambulance patients that requested our facility and we admitted 4 of those patients to the hospital. The lab, pharmacy, and radiology departments were buzzing. The kitchen team passed the inspection from the state so we are able to sell food to the public. The housekeeping staff were very busy cleaning up from the construction dust and the move this past weekend. Our entire team has worked many hours to make this day successful.”(Photo: TRIBUNE PHOTO/RION SANDERS)Buy Photo
